| Description |
Le mythe d'Hercule qui fait jaillir le lac de Vico en plantant sa massue dans le sol devant les paysans émerveillés Le lac de Vico est d'origine volcanique, il est situé dans les monts Cimini. Peinture murale dans la loggia d'Hercule du Palais Farnese de Caprarola 1568-1469 C'est l'oeuvre de Federico Zuccari puis de Jacopo Bertoja qui a poursuivi le travail en 1572-1573 La loggia d'Hercule, située à l'étage noble dans l'axe du palais avec le village de Caprarola, célèbre les possessions territoriales du cardinal Farnese qui est comparé à Hercule, en particulier pour les travaux d'aménagement du lac de Vico en vue d'abaisser son niveau et de dégager de nouvelles terres fertiles. ------- Le palais Farnese de Caprarola a été conçu par l'architecte Jacopo Birozzi Vignola, connu sous le nom de Vignola, en 1555 pour le cardinal Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589), petit-fils du Pape Paul III, le Pape qui a confié la réalisation de la Chapelle Sixtine à Michel-Ange. Il a fait appel aux meilleurs artistes de son époque dont beaucoup travaillaient déjà pour la Papauté. Ce palais de style Renaissance, construit entre 1555 et 1575, a remplacé un projet de forteresse située au sommet d'une arête rocheuse dont les fondations de forme pentagonale ont été conservées par l'architecte. Il comprend plusieurs étages organisés autour d'une cour centrale circulaire et de grands jardins. La grande rue du village de Caprarola a été construite dans l'axe du Château qui domine la région.
English: w:Lake Vico, a caldera lake in northern Lazio, central Italy. According to legend, the lake was created by Hercules, who defied the local inhabitants by wielding his club. When he did this, a stream sprang up and formed the lake. According to legend, one day Hercules stuck his cudgel into the ground and dared the local population to pull it out. Nobody succeeded and when Hercules removed it himself, a great jet of water came out of that hole and filled the entire valley, thus creating Lake Vico.
Text from: By Redazione, The Pozzo del Diavolo and the legendary formation of Lake Vico near Caprarola, 10 December 2017[1]: These places of great natural suggestion would seem to find their roots in a legend depicted in a fresco of the Sala di Ercole (Hall of Hercules) in the imposing Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola. In the fresco by Federico Zuccari, late 16th century, we see the mythological hero swimming in a lake with a spear surmounted by the Farnesian lily. This scene should represent the difficulties that Alessandro Farnese had to face for the construction of an aqueduct, for the lowering of the lake level and other interventions aimed at improving the territory. Although we do not have many details, the "real" legend tells of the wrath of Hercules who, as a sign of challenge towards the local populations, strongly pushed his club into the ground where the Devil's Well now stands. Nobody could extract the club, until Ercole, extracting it, created a huge flow of water from the ground that filled the valley below, generating the current Lake Vico. |
